LESSONS FOR MINI-MIDGETS by Doreen Ramplee-Smith Mini-midget Instruction is open to children 4 and 5 years old. If you wish to register your child in this programme please read the following instructions carefully, fill in the application form, enclose your cheque and mail it to us before November 30th. Instructions Please keep for reference 1. Children registered in the Mini midget programme have the use of the Babysitting Lodge- Connie's Lodge Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., January lOth to March 13th inclusive. ( 10 week period) 2. Lessons begin Wednesday, January 15th, at 1:30 p.m. and last for 1 hour. Classes will be held (weather permitting) for an 8 week period, ending on Wednes March 5th. 3. Mini-midgets only will be accepted on Wednesdays. An exception will be made (if possible) depending on the number in the Lodge, for families in which there is a Mini-midget and a younger child age 2 or over. 4. At least one parent must be an Ottawa Ski Club member, as the Lodge is for the use of members only. Memberships can be purchased at the Ottawa Ski Club Office on Queen Street. 5. Mini-midgets must be Ottawa Ski Club merpbers. (Membership numbers may be phoned in up to November 3.0th, otherwise application will be wait-listed). 6. Mini-midgets must have steel-edged skis with release cable fittings. Boots should be sturdy. As a guide, the skis should be about the same height as the child for a 4 year old, and slightly longer for the 5 year olds. Plastic bases are desirable for 5 year olds, but not for beginning 4 year olds. 7. For the safety and comfort of your Mini-midget, it is necessary that he (or she) be registered at the Babysitting Lodge, as he may have to be returned there before completion of the lesson, or the appearance of the parent. Your fee registers your child at the Lodge and entitles him to the free lessons. 8. The Babysitting fee for the Wednes days of the 10 week period remains unchanged: $10.00 ... one child per family; 15.00 ... two children per family; 20.00 ... three children per family. ]8 This money is used to pay the babysitters. Our Volunteer Instructors receive no re muneration. 9. Facilities are limited. Children will be accepted in order of application, so please mail early to: Mini-Midget Program, Mrs. C.
